Mike and the Dog-Gone Labradoodle

This one looks cute yet mysterious. An interesting mix I couldn’t pass up. It is the first installment in The Pet Shop Society, a brand new mystery series for readers aged 7-11.

Mike Adams has always been a pretty average kid. He hates homework, loves sports, and spends a lot of his day bugging his twin sister Maddie—because, after all, she deserves it.

But one day, everything changes. Nic Chang’s dog goes missing.

Mike, his sister and their two best friends join forces to search for the truth and, with it, the missing pet. Will Mike and Maddie find a way to put their differences aside and save the day? And just where did that dog-gone labradoodle go?

Secret Admirer – Arboretti Family #4

Tuesday’s story is so utterly sad. I just wanted to scoop her up and love on her and be her friend. It broke my heart when things came out about her marriage and all of her previous engagements….and then the details just kept coming.

However, she is a strong woman – or at least pretends to be for others’ sake, and I found a strong connection to her in that way. Her character is the example you’d want as a close friend, and she surrounds herself with good friends.

What do you think you’ll read next?

I’ve got Treasured Lies on my radar. I am hoping to get it read by its release date, October 22! Kendall emailed me just last week and sent a second invitation to receive a copy. Treasured Secrets definitely took me away on an adventure that was fun and…interesting.

The discovery of The Flying Seahorse, a 13th century shipwreck, nearly killed Archer’s two best friends. Now, with their recovery assured and his fiancée back at his side, Archer can finally hunt for the treasure that has haunted him since his father’s death years before.

Rosalina learned things about herself that she didn’t expect: her capacity to love, her capacity to forgive and her capacity to do whatever it takes to protect the people she loves. Shooting Nox with a spear gun saved Archer’s life, and brought them back together — this time forever. Now she’s with her fiancé, in the beautiful Mediterranean, with a real chance of ending the guilt that’s tortured Archer for two decades.

But Nox isn’t dead, and he hasn’t given up. Archer and Rosalina may believe that they are safe, but nothing could be further from the truth. What once was about treasure is now about revenge — and it’s very, very personal.

The Soul Summoner is also another one on my plate for immediate reading. I decided to step a little out of my comfort zone of genres for this one. I did the same for The Secret Keeper and found I really enjoyed that one, so I’m looking forward to The Soul Summoner. This is the first in the Soul Summoner series.

Blessed–or cursed–with a connection to the souls of others, Sloan Jordan can see the best in people… and the worst. For twenty-seven years, she’s kept her ability a secret, but eleven young women have been murdered in the mountains of North Carolina, and Sloan may be the only hope of finding their killer.

She has just agreed to help Detective Nathan McNamara with the case, when a stranger—who is as alluring as he is terrifying—shows up at her doorstep with a dark past and another puzzling mystery: she can’t see his soul at all.

Now Sloan is on the hunt for a deadly psychopath with two irresistible men. One of them would die for her, and the other would kill to keep her safe.
